Aunt Wang, now 57 years old, has gradually declined since retirement, especially high blood pressure, which makes her have to rely on antihypertensive drugs. However, recently she has experienced frequent dizziness and chest pressure due to the consumption of online shopping layer cakes, and doctors warn that dietary choices for people with high blood pressure are crucial, and improper food can cause blood pressure to spike.
This made Aunt Wang reflect: Is the influence of the layer cake really that big?
Clinical cases have shown that improper diet can easily lead to hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, especially the following three high-risk foods:
1. High-sugar foods: A large intake of sugar can cause violent fluctuations in blood sugar, stimulate abnormal secretion of insulin, cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure, which is not conducive to cardiovascular health. Everyday foods such as praline cakes, milk tea and bread are high in sugar.
2. High-sodium foods: Excessive sodium intake can trigger water and sodium retention in the body, increase blood volume, and promote high blood pressure.
3. Alcohol: Heavy drinking will cause blood vessels to dilate rapidly and blood flow to accelerate, although it may lower blood pressure in the short term, but when it rebounds, it will make blood pressure rise sharply, which is extremely unfavorable to patients with high blood pressure.
Appropriate dietary changes can help reduce the risk of high blood pressure:
1. Soybeans: Studies have shown that daily moderate consumption of soy products can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
2. Tea drinking: Regular tea drinking habits are associated with a reduced prevalence of hypertension.
3. Tomatoes: Daily consumption of tomatoes can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
Recent research suggests that frequent, short-term, low-intensity activity is more likely to lower blood pressure. Whether it's work, housework, or leisure activities, active physical behaviors are associated with lower blood pressure levels and a risk of high blood pressure. In particular, the "isometric exercise" performed well in lowering blood pressure.
